The Runaway Groom Chapter 1022
It was one of the servants, but she appeared antsy.Irene frowned and rose to her feet, asking, "What is it?""There's someone outside," the servant replied, lowering her gaze."Who is it?" Isaac was bemused."Let's go," Irene said.However, she was about to follow the servant when Isaac stopped her. "I'll go."Irene thought about it and decided that it was really better for him to do it, and she nodded.As Isaac headed outside, Zachary followed and asked, "Is there going to be trouble?"He was traumatized and did not want more trouble.Isaac turned toward him, finding him quite the jinx just then. "Keep your mouth shut and we just might be fine."Zachary was left speechless.They both soon arrived at the front door to find the boy outside, and while Isaac did not recognize him, Zachary did."It's Barzel."While Isaac had a hunch who the boy was, Zachary explained, "His parents saved you. James helped him escape."Barzel handed Zachary a letter then, and he took it, bemus

Isaac had no idea, nor did he understand Barzel's temper since he had never met Barzel before.However, there was every chance that someone was controlling him, especially with that attitude…"Have someone keep an eye on him. See who he's contacting, but if there's no one forcing him, pay him off."Isaac was obviously not keen on having anything to do with someone like that boy."Okay. I'll get it done right now," Zachary replied, worried that Barzel could give him the slip.As Isaac returned into the castle, Irene asked, "Who was it?"Isaac told her everything, adding, "He was asking for money.""Give it to him. His parents did save you," Irene said. She was grateful toward Barzel's parents and there was no question that Isaac was safe because of their help—the gratitude must be considered."I know," Isaac replied.He would not miss the money because he could earn it again, and Barzel was not asking for that much.However, he was too young, and Isaac was worried he was bei

Zachary seemed to read Erin's thoughts and said, "My baby was born under perfectly normal circumstances. Do not let your imagination run wild."Erin blinked her large eyes at him. "What about the mother?"Everyone was left speechless, since most of them knew about Zachary and Lulu.Zachary was at a loss too, but he insisted, "My baby was born unto me and someone I loved. You don't have to question that."He was not lying—he and Lulu were definitely in love with each other, and that could never be refuted even if they did not end up together.However, Erin was clearly doubtful, convinced that Zachary was a playboy.Irene quickly changed the subject. "Erin, where's everyone staying?"Erin smiled. "We've already arranged for a place.""Thanks for going through the trouble—you and James." Irene smiled.Still, Erin pulled Irene just then, whispering, "James has been restless. He wants to get back to work, and I know that he's worried about how things are over there. However, my fat

Erin turned toward where Tommy pointed and smiled. "You are your daddy's son. You just might be taller than him."It was exactly what Tommy hoped for, and he could not help smiling.Erin then went up to James. "You can wait until dinner to chat. They need a break after their long flight."Alright then. See you guys later," she said and clapped Zachary on the shoulder. "Congratulations on getting a daughter.""You too," Zachary replied. "On getting hitched and becoming cousins with Isaac."James was left speechless, while Isaac shot Zachary a look before turning and heading into the house.Zachary shrugged. "I'm not wrong."James snorted. "No, but you're indulging your relationship."It was as if Zachary was saying that he was marrying Erin to get connected to Isaac, when their relationship was so pure, and they only cared about how they felt toward each other! Isaac was not even involved.Zachary certainly was not thinking when he said that, and it was a little inappropriate w

Before James could speak further, Mick added, "Erin's my daughter. Everything that is mine is hers, and it's not like I can take these to my grave anyway. Don't turn me down now—if you feel like you owe me, just treasure Erin. I won't play around if you ever bully her."James did not get uncomfortable because of Mick's words. Instead, he said somberly, "Don't worry."Mick patted him on the shoulder. "You have to take care of yourself too."He certainly did not want James' injuries to get permanent, or Erin would have to live with a disabled person for the rest of her life.His fatherly affection left Erin's tears welling in her eyes, and she leaned against his arm. "Dad, you should come with us to Franconia!"She really could not bear leaving Mick to live alone—he was going to be very lonely with Yvaine Lynd gone. And the older one got, the more afraid one would be of loneliness. However, Mick was used to life here and would not be accustomed to life anywhere else. He used t

Isaac appeared aloof and expressionless, but he said, "For your wedding."With that, he got into his car.James took it happily and watched them leave before heading home with Erin.Glancing at the briefcase on the backseat, she asked, "What's in there?""I don't know," James admitted.That made Erin more curious. "You don't?'"Of course. I haven't opened it yet." James said, and reminded her, "Eyes on the road."Erin pouted at him. "Fine."Although they were staying with Mick, he left in another car after leaving the restaurant. They were staying together so that Erin could better care for James. It was a huge place so it would not be crowded even if James moved in, and she would rather Mick not be alone either in fear that he would get lonely. Mick was not back yet after they drove home, while Erin excitedly took the briefcase out of the car while complaining, "It's our wedding… So why did he give you a present, but not me?"James stared at her in turn. "Giving you is no
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1028
James was peeking because he was worried that the gift might be something that could hurt Erin's self-esteem, and he would rather spare her from having to feel that she was less than Isaac. Having worked for Isaac for so long, he knew that Isacc spared no expense when it comes to his own people. In fact, they were more brothers than merely superior and subordinate.It was exactly the case for when James was captured—Isaac was suffering from temporary blindness, but he carried on, calling favors and spending all the money he had to save James. Bosses did not usually do that. In other words, Isaac was loyal to a fault, but he never liked to express it.Even so, those who were with him knew very well that it was respect and a sense of security they would not get anywhere else. On the other hand, Erin was even more expectant when she realized it was not money, and she was starting to fumble a little.James simply reclined on the couch with the fresh juice, taking a sip and then sa

They were led to the VIP room where Irene and Tommy sat on the couch, waiting while Erin got changed in the dressing room.There were plenty of sweets and beverages prepared on the table, and Tommy started to snack on the chocolate. Irene had to take out a tissue to wipe the chocolate that smudged over his mouth. "Take it slow."Tommy held it out to her mouth. "This is good. Try it, Mommy."Irene opened her mouth and ate it. There was a lemony flavor to the strong chocolate taste, and there was a minty freshness to the sugar sweetness.The texture was rich and good as Tommy described it.She quietly watched as Tommy went through everything else, while Erin soon came out of the changing room in her wedding gown.It fused modern fashion with traditional Zidonian styles.Despite Erin's usually lively demeanor, she appeared more prim and mature with the gown. After all, getting too risque at a wedding ruined the solemnity, especially if children or elderly were attending.It wa
